Click image to enlarge. Winter Place consists of two large antebellum stuccoed brick dwellings and three smaller brick structures on a spacious corner lot in the Cottage Hill Historic District of Montgomery. The “North House” retains its original symmetrical fenestration and Italianate details, but the “South House” was renovated in the 1870s with a fashionable Mansard roof and tower and other Second Empire features. Few vintage buildings in either style survive in Montgomery. Winter Place is listed individually on the National Register because of its architectural significance, and it is listed as part of the locally designated Cottage Hill Historic District.
After Winter Place appeared on the Places in Peril list in 2004, it was sold and the new owner addressed crucial roof, foundation, drainage, and vegetation issues, as well as restoration of the porch of the South House, but that owner is unable to complete the preservation of Winter Place. This National Register property near downtown Montgomery is ready for new stewards to insure its survival in the 21st century.
